ONE GOD (Three parts)
THE HOLY THREE IN ONE
(The Trijity)
Matthew 3:1-17
As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:16-17)
Personally, I like to use and egg to discribe how the trinity works, as in there is one God but three distinct parts. With the eggs, you have the (1) shell, representing our protector and shield, who is God the Father, Then you have (2)the Yoke, represents (Jesus) who becomes the very centre of our being, when we see and believe, and accept what Him, He promises to come and dwell with us, and that brings us to the White of the egg, that seems to eb e erywhere iinside the egg, representing the Holy Spirit,who is everywhere at all times, He is in your life and in mine and in who ever asks for Him to come in and gove them power to live a life for God, He will come and dwell with you. This is God, promisng to never leave us nor forsake us. Yes, God comes to dwells within us.
So when you hear the term trinity, it is what we as believing born again Christians discribe as One God, but three distinct parts that are involved it the creation of the world and involved in each of our lives as we understand and believe. we teaches, there is only one God, but that this one God eternally exists as three co-equal, co-eternal persons, that is why we Baptize in the name of God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4) You will find that as you study the scriptures it says that each of these three parts and contain exactly the same characteristics They, each one has the same divine nature, power, and glory, they do not each have some of these characteristics, but each one of them have all of these charcteristics. So there for, when the Hooy Spirit comes to live within us, we have the Power of God dwelling within us, to be able to live our lives for God.
God, the three in one created the world, and all that is within it. And all three parts are involved in Salvation, God, gave up His one and only Son to die for you and for m. So then we have, God the Son, Jesus Christ, through whom the world was made and who became human to save humanity from their sin and to give them a new life. Then we have God the Holy Spirits indwelling presence and power sent by Jesus into our lives to guide us into all truth.
We see this "Trinity" very clearly when we read about the baptism of Jesus in (Matthew 3:16-17), where at Jesus' baptism, the Son is in the water, the Spirit descends like a dove, and the Father speaks from heaven. Jesus also commands his followers to baptize new believers "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19).
(Deuteronomy 6:4) tells us that he Lord is one. Yes, The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are each fully and completely God, yet they are distinct from one another. If you will read all of John chapter 1, You will find again, all three persons of the God head, being involved yet they are one God working together in unity and in one accord.
As a final passage read, (JOHN 10:30-42, John 14:5-10) plus there are many other places through out scroture that will tell you plainly that this is the case. We have one God, but three parts that all have different roles in our lives.. God is completly God, there is nothing missing. When you have God in your life, You are complete.
Father God, You complete me, when ypou came in, you were the piice of the puzzle I was missing, thank you for becoming my everything, for with out you I was nothing, now with you, all things are possible, when we walk within your perfect will for our lives. I thank you that You have always forgiven me, when I came to you, after not walking within your will from time to time over my life time. For you promised in your word, that, "Of I confess my sin, you will be faithul and just and will forgive me from all of my sin and trespasses. Thank you, it is in Your Name I Pray AMEN.
